that pales beyond what harry reid and obama are getting away with. it is incredible that republicans have allowed democrats to find issues. -- to define the issues. it is amazing to me that harry reid who has not passed a budget in three years, boehner is not up there raising heck about it, it does not make sense. republicans wonder why they squandered. i do not know if you heard or i guess you played it, harry reid's speech on the floor of the senate this morning, why wasn't mcconnell up there right after him? but, should have been up there making a response. republicans -- they are suicidal, and it is a shame. my last statement will be we do not need a compromise, we need term limits, 12 years, two six- year terms for senators and that is the only thing that will save our nation, get those guys out of here and get some fresh blood in there. thank you very much, and have a happy new year. host: thank you very much for your calls. also, a special web page we have set up for you at c-span for all things related to the fiscal cliff. you can watch video

harry reid put all kinds of pork in it. like i say, give them the $17 billion and then in about 90 days, come back and see what else the folks need in that area. but i don't believe -- if one republican votes for that $60 billion, every one of them ought to be thrown out for treason in the republican party. host: this is the headline in this morning's "new york times.? hurricane relief bill moves towards passage in the senate. a $60.4 billion to pay for recovery efforts in the states pummeled by hurricane sandy took a major step towards passage. is this the kind of spending conservative house republicans are talking about? guest: yes. it's interesting. you've seen the senate. the article stays senate moved towards this passage and it will probably happen next week when they return from their christmas break, the house has made absolutely no movement to put this on the floor and will most certainly be pushed into next year which means the bill will die and they will have to reintroduce the bill and go through some of the sam
